The Lunge

Another great exercise for the cyclist and so many options to consider for the simple fact that they give us the chance to work outside the saggital (right/left) plane. All of these can be done with a selection of light to heavy weights, with and without curls. forward lunge: pretty obvious, alternate sides of work one then the other reverse lunge: same idea but step back all the way out/back lunge: one step that takes you from the reverse lunge position to the forward lunge; work one side, then the other side lunge: either done side to side or across the room and then back (don't change your orientation!); add one weight for a lunge with a curl forward lunge to 45 degrees: causes the leg not going forward to bend in and down reverse and to the side: kind of a curtsy if this makes it easier to see you can also use a step or box or BOSU and add weight to curls and presses for any of these.
